Array ( [sid] => 134544 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Laughing And crying [time] => 2007-05-21 00:06:12 [hometext] => [bodytext] => There used to be a time
when I wanted to fly
way up high
in the sky
where only angels fly,
I'd bask in the glow
of heavens fire
and
drift on magical clouds
in a burning desire.

Then I would dream
I could sing
a beautiful love song
as I slowly
rocked my lady
all night long,
But something has changed
senseless frustrations
are coming on strong
now I'm spending my days
pondering
went wrong.

My friends
are now enemies
and what I see
I just can't believe.

You gotta get ln
before you get out
but
once you get in
it's so hard to get out,
now I am emotionally shattered
crying and laughing
like a confused clown
and
the only thing that matters
is how am gonna get up
after falling down.

"It does not matter that you fall. What matters is that you get back up."

Even if done slowly, the getting up is what counts . . . you'll find your way.

There is something wonderful written inside of this, my friend. It is dripping with
a desperation and loss, but at the same time, a hope. Hope that can never
die, because it resides where its killers, despair and defeat cannot go.

Wow. I am in awe. You will fly. You will! Poets are destined for it.
There is no escape . . . keep writing. Your talent is remarkable and most enjoyable.

Exceptional work here. Truly ~

Always that alpha/omega of life. It can get to you sometimes. Yet without it we learn nothing.
Here's to us learning as we hit that fall down get back up brush myself off stage.
Well written (as I brush myself off) and you just keep me thinking.
